Mother's Day is a special occasion celebrated worldwide to honor and appreciate the love, care, and sacrifices of mothers. At Pozy Flower Shop in Miami Beach, we believe that every mom deserves to be celebrated with beautiful flowers that reflect her unique spirit. In this blog post, we'll explore the origins of Mother's Day and how Pozy helps you celebrate this meaningful day with the perfect floral arrangements.

The Origins of Mother's Day: A Journey Through Time

The idea of celebrating motherhood dates back to ancient times. However, the modern version of Mother's Day that we know and love today has its roots in the United States.

  • Ancient Celebrations: In ancient Greece, people held festivals to honor Rhea, the mother of the gods. The Romans also celebrated a similar festival called Hilaria, dedicated to Cybele, the mother goddess.
  • Early Christian Traditions: In the Christian tradition, "Mothering Sunday" was observed on the fourth Sunday of Lent. This day was dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and people would visit their "mother church" and spend time with their families.
  • Ann Reeves Jarvis: In the 19th century, Ann Reeves Jarvis, an American social activist, organized "Mothers' Day Work Clubs" to improve health and sanitation conditions. She also held "Mothers' Friendship Day" gatherings to promote reconciliation after the Civil War.
  • Anna Jarvis: Inspired by her mother's work, Anna Jarvis campaigned to establish a national Mother's Day in the early 20th century. Her efforts paid off, and in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson officially designated the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day.
